^[ale. — Upper side: Lemon-yellow. The primaries have the apical 

 margin of the costa aud the outer margin as far as the first median 

 uervule bordered narrowly with brown, darkest at the tij)s of the nerv- 

 ules. There is also a small black spot at the inner angle. The second- 

 aries have six minute black spots at the tips of the nervules, but the 

 submedian nervule is not thus ornamented in any of the specimens 

 before me. Under side: Primaries and secondaries have the ends of 

 the nervules tipped with brown. There is a black spot in the middle 

 and oue at the end of the cell in the primaries, and a number of Avaved 

 and broken lilies upon the secondaries. 



Female. — The female is paler, and the markings are less distinct. 



Expanse of wings, 35 mm. 



Three males and two females are included in the National Museum 

 collection. 



It is with great reluctance that I add another to the long list of names 

 that have been applied to the insects which fall into this genus, but 



' For further synonymy see Trimen, Butterflies of South Africa.
